My Anywhere Working Tips (Aka Our shameless effort to win some cool free stuff)

27 Monday Feb 2012

Anywhere Working have started a competition which will see the winner get some pretty sexy gadgets for their mobile working lifestyle and we are shamelessly entering the competition. All you have to do is write a blog post about your tips for working and you could be in with a chance of getting some seriously nifty hardware.

Although our next paragraph could be viewed as blatant brown-nosing, we do dig Anywhere Working. Like thousands of people across the country, we lead a mobile work life, working in our study, cafes, trains and tubes, letting our work flow through our daily life so we can flow better through life in general.  Here are our top tips for a fabulous work life >>>>

  • Do something you really, really love. You might not earn millions to start with, but the job satisfaction alone is better than any Lizard-shaped Louis Vuitton handbag. (And you’ll be more productive, too)
  • Work to love, love to work. That sounds a bit odd, and to be honest we’re not sure how catchy that is, but by making work a labour of love your whole mindset changes and it no longer becomes a chore. You won’t need any motivation to make it from the bedroom to the lounge (or toilet), where your computer awaits ….
  • Go all Jane Fonda on yourself: flexible working is the future and it also means you can spend more time with your family. You know that crazy aunty with the outrageous inheritance? We don’t mean her. (Unless you want us to mean her).
  • And finally….. Don’t forget the Holy Techie Trinity >>> Your laptop, your popsicles, your wallet and your watch! Try switching up your work environment. Getting cabin fever in the kitchen? Need to aerate your mandate? By taking all the above, you can roam like your broadband, enjoying different places and faces while you work. Good for inspiration and for losing track of time…. which is why we added the watch 🙂 (We have no idea why the popsicles are in there).

No more nine to five, baby…….

Question it!

27 Monday Feb 2012

Posted by Natasha in Question It

≈ 2 Comments

Children and Young People Now are reporting that counsellors are seeing a rise in teenagers with depression, with some initial research suggesting that family break ups and social media are a significant source of that depression. The article goes on to say that parents need to work at supporting children to express their feelings in an environment of, we presume, emotional safety as well as physical safety .

But there must be reasons why children are losing out on the support they need. What do you think may be the reason for a potential increase in children feeling depressed and does it really have to do with a lack of support?

Possible answer: Yes, we think it does. Parents work so hard, and usually both parents today work conventional hours which means that they are both exhausted and both spending minimal amounts of quality time with their children, through no fault of their own.

The impact of that is that children lose out on seeing and feeling their parents express their love and support for them and begin to tackle the world on their own. This causes huge levels of stress and the only way to reduce them is to give parents the opportunity to work in ways that are flexible and will allow them time to be with their children.An organisation we feel will be very much a positive part of the future is Anywhere Working. Parents are already cottoning on the possibility of working from home: more time with your little ones, productive work hours and a win-win for the whole family.
